3 reasons to move your faxing to the 'Cloud' before you lose data

What is the Cloud in simple terms?

Cloud computing is storing and accessing applications and data over the internet as opposed to the use of hard disks of local servers or computers.

Communication in the Cloud

With Cloud technologies becoming more advanced, companies are moving their telecommunication into the cloud. This means that there is no longer a need to have an on site PBX (telephone system) and companies operate with a Virtual PBX (hosted PBX in the Cloud). This means that incoming calls don’t terminate in the office any more but in the cloud and can be transferred to any employee anywhere.

Faxing in the Cloud

With using email technology as the backbone for faxing makes Cloud Faxing a possibility. This means that the fax number will no longer hold a company back into moving a business working from home. Faxes are all archived in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere.
